This Week's Fixations

Daysia: OK, first of all, fuck Jason Alexander for crashing Britney Spears and Sam Asghari’s wedding!!! Can we all just let this woman live?

Anyways, one bright spot in this pop culture hellscape we’ve been in lately: Britney looked so happy on her big day! I’m intrigued with the attendees, and I need to know what the thought process was behind the guest list. I need to know more about Britney and Selena Gomez’s friendship. (How random? But incredible? And kind of makes sense, I guess?) And HOW does Britney know Ansel Elgort? (Does she know he’s bad news???) And Paris Hilton skipped a gig with President Biden for this? (Her priorities are 100% correct).

The dress was literally skinny legend Versace:

It’s simply the Disney princess fantasy wedding she deserves!

Spears also recreated her iconic VMAs kiss with Madonna. Happy Pride Month to me!

Hannah: So last week I talked about the announcement of the actors who would be playing Alex and Henry in the film adaptation of Red, White and Royal Blue and this week we got to see a couple of behind-the-scenes photos.

Seeing these photos just convinces me even more that the casting is spot on!

In other casting news, Henry Golding is joining the sequel of the Old Guard, which made me scream. The Old Guard is probably one of my favorite Netflix movies ever—I have watched it approximately seven times and I can't wait to see Henry Golding added to the mix. (Also, Uma Thurman is cool too.)

Finally, this new Aviation Gin ad with Nick Cannon ahead of Father's Day made me actually laugh out loud. Ryan Reynolds is the king of reactive marketing and timing. (Who can forget when he provided redemption for "Peloton Wife?")

I would watch a Mad Men reboot but it's just Ryan Reynolds and his team coming up with Aviation Gin ads. Someone should make that happen...

Has Lorde Dropped a New Album?

Lorde expressed her love for pop bangers while celebrating the anniversary of “Royals.”

ICYMI: Happy birthday to CTRL 💖 SZA dropped the deluxe version in honor of the fifth anniversary. Listen to “Tread Carefully.”
